In this embodiment, the power supply interface 70 and the door lock assembly 20 are connected to the controller 40 via the aforementioned vehicle body wiring harness 30. The controller 40 is connected to the in-vehicle entertainment and information terminal 50 via the vehicle body wiring harness 30, and the in-vehicle entertainment and information terminal 50 is connected to the speaker 80 via the vehicle body wiring harness 30.
[0029] Currently, depending on actual needs, the in-vehicle entertainment information terminal 50 and the speaker 80 can also be connected wirelessly.
[0030] The power supply interface 70 is mounted on the center console, instrument panel, door interior panel 10 or side interior panel by means of snap-fit, welding or screwing; similarly, the speaker 80 is also mounted on the center console, instrument panel, door interior panel 10 or side interior panel by means of snap-fit, welding or screwing.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 This application provides a detailed illustration of a power supply interface 70 mounted on a door interior panel 10. The power supply interface 70 has a second snap-fit structure 71. The door armrest trim 12 of the door interior panel 10 has a first snap-fit structure 121 and a limiting structure pre-installed. A portion of the power supply interface 70 extends into the limiting structure for restraint, and is fixed to the door armrest trim 12 of the door interior panel 10 by snap-fitting with the first snap-fit structure 121 and the second snap-fit structure 71. The vehicle wiring harness 30 is connected to the power supply interface 70 via a wiring harness connector 31.
[0032] In this embodiment, the controller 40 can be an additional USB / Type-C working status check controller added to the system, or it can be integrated into the vehicle controller or body controller according to the actual vehicle status.
[0033] In this embodiment of the application, the power supply interface 70 can be a USB power supply interface, a Type-C power supply interface, or even other types of power supply interfaces.
[0034] The USB or Type-C power supply interface can be conveniently located throughout the vehicle, such as in the center console, dashboard, door panels, or side panels. (See reference...) Figure 1 In this embodiment, the power supply interface 70 is arranged on the interior door panel 10.
[0035] In addition, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment of the application, the door lock assembly 20 is arranged in the unlocking area of the car door. The door lock assembly 20 is a structure that is already present on the car door, and its assembly method on the car door belongs to the prior art.
[0036] In this embodiment, the controller 40, the in-vehicle entertainment information terminal 50, and the speaker 80 are arranged in corresponding positions according to the vehicle body structure. For example, the speaker 80 is arranged in the center console / instrument panel / door interior panel / side interior panel of the vehicle.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aforementioned electronic device forgetting reminder system can be used to remind the user to take the electronic device when the car door is opened. When the user needs to use the electronic device charging reminder function, the user can manually activate the reminder function to take the electronic device with them when getting out of the car.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 After the reminder function for users to take electronic devices with them when getting off the vehicle is activated, the method for reminding users to remember to take their electronic devices in this embodiment includes:
[0039] S1, Controller 40 detects whether the car door is open.
[0040] In this scenario, the user unlocks the door by pulling the inward-opening handle 11 integrated on the door interior panel 10. The door lock assembly 20 then transmits the door unlocking electrical signal to the controller 40 via the body wiring harness group 30, which in turn detects that the door is open.
[0041] S2, Controller 40 detects whether the power supply interface 70 is in working condition.
[0042] There are several ways to check whether the power supply interface 70 is in working condition, such as: determining it by the working current or working voltage; or a pressure sensor can be installed inside the power supply interface 70 to determine whether a wire harness connector is inserted into the power supply interface 70 based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor.
[0043] If the power supply interface 70 is not in operation, the process ends.
[0044] If the power supply interface 70 is in working condition, proceed to step S3.
[0045] S3, Controller 40 executes the reminder program.
[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the controller 40 executing the reminder program specifically includes: the controller 40 issuing a command to the in-vehicle entertainment information terminal 50, which is a first command or a second command.
[0047] Specifically, if the electronic device is connected to the power supply interface 70 arranged on the door interior panel 10, a first command is issued; if the electronic device is connected to the power supply interface 70 on other parts of the vehicle body, not the door interior panel, a second command is issued.
[0048] S4, after receiving the first or second instruction, the in-vehicle infotainment terminal 50 sends a voice prompt to the speaker 80.
[0049] Specifically, when the in-vehicle entertainment information terminal 50 receives the first instruction, it outputs a first voice reminder instruction; when the in-vehicle entertainment information terminal 50 receives the second instruction, it outputs a second voice reminder instruction.
[0050] The first voice prompt instruction is, for example: "Please note that the device is charging. Please remove and take the device away." This is to prevent the charging device from being pulled off when the user opens the door or from being forgotten inside the car, thus preventing damage.
[0051] The second voice reminder command is, for example: "Please note that the device is charging. Please do not forget the device." This prevents the device from being left in the car and causing damage.
[0052] S5 speaker with 80 voice prompts for users.
[0053] The speaker 80 will broadcast the first or second voice prompt command.
[0054] When a user does not need the reminder function to carry electronic devices out of the vehicle, they can turn it off via a software switch on the central control display screen 60 located on the vehicle's center console or other locations, or via voice commands.
[0055] In this embodiment, the reminder function for users to take electronic devices when getting off the vehicle is implemented by utilizing the existing hardware on the vehicle, without increasing hardware costs.
